The U.S. State with the Biggest Brazilian Population

By the time the war ended, the Roosevelt-Vargas convo was no longer keeping it friendly, fam.

 OMG, like the Brazilian gov is totally struggling to score lit prices for coffee and get those sick credits for industrial projects. It's getting hella hard, fam. The American gov started flexin' its support for the Brazilian political peeps who were all about that liberal economic vibe. This led to a sick convo between the anti-Vargas crew and the peeps who were down with economic liberalism in both countries. Brazil was like the only Latin American country to flex troops to the war in Europe, you know? Both Itamaraty and local political leaders were like, "Yo, having this presence would totally secure us a position of mad prestige in the post-war conferences, you know?" 


The idea that being a "associated power" would totally benefit Brazil's interests in future international talks got hella strong. However, the idea that Brazil's participation deserved some major clout and cash quickly fell off. From 1945 on, the US was all about fixing up Europe, so Latin America didn't really get a chance to shine in the whole world rebuilding thing. OMG, like during the Inter-American conference at Chapultepec in 1945, the US was totally not feeling the region. They straight up ignored Brazil and all of Latin America's desire to have a permanent seat on the UN Security Council. SMH. The US was like, "Yo, Brazil needs to get with the times and recognize that the Soviet Union is a big deal in the global community."

OMG, like Washington was totally like "bye" to those non-democratic regimes in Latin America. 


It was, like, their top priority! And guess what? The haters of Vargas were all like, "Yo, American government, help us bring democracy back to Brazil!" The United States was like, super worried that Getúlio Vargas's nationalistic talk would bring him closer to other Latin American leaders, like Juan Domingo Perón in Argentina. It was a big deal, you know? In October 1945, Vargas got yeeted by the military chiefs of his own gov and elections went down in the next year, opening a lit democratic period that lasted until 1964. This period starts in 1946 when, like, mad political options in Latin America got hella influenced by the Cold War. The ID of the region as an area of American influence determined its external ties in the econ, poli, and mil fields, with major effects on Brazilian diplo. The limitations imposed by the bipolarity, tho, didn't stop Brazil from adopting mad creative policies linked to its economic development goals. This endeavor was like, sooo obvious in the nationalistic priorities of the second Vargas government, in the appeal to development by Juscelino Kubitschek and in the super innovative direction of the independent foreign policy of the Quadros-Goulart administrations. Like, they were totally on another level, you know? The evolution of Brazilian foreign policy in this period was like, totally influenced by domestic vibes and stuff, which made the country's diplomatic action follow partisan positions and interests, you know?

Brazilian economic policy in the immediate post-war period was like, all about flexing those liberal vibes that were taking over the international economy, you know?

 

At the same time, the vibes with the United States were lit; from 1947-1950, a whopping 60% of Brazilian exports were shipped to the American market, and coffee was like, totally slaying with over 60% of Brazil's sales abroad. The Dutra admin, started in '46, thought that the vibes with the US would be like how it was in WW2, with Brazil fully backing up Washington in the inter-American system. OMG, like, military cooperation between these two countries took on a whole new vibe: as their friendship grew, the US totally stepped up their game in training and shaping the Brazilian armed forces. And, like, the Joint Brazil-US Military Commission got way more lit. The most obvious flexes of this influence were the establishment, in 1946, of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Creation of the Brazilian War College (Escola Superior de Guerra) inspired by the National War College in Washinston. OMG, when it comes to doctrine, the basic principles of national security totally started flexing the same vibes as hemispheric security. It's like they're twinning with their ideological tenets, you know? In September 1947 Brazil was like, "Yo, we're hosting the Rio de Janeiro Conference for the Maintenance of Peace and Security in the Continent, you know?" And that's when they came up with the Inter-American Treaty for Reciprocal Assistance (TIAR).

Finally, I wanna talk about how Hirst does his intellectual stuff.  He's all about history, politics, and looking at things from different angles. You can see that in the title of his book. In the 1980s, her analytical focus on Brazilian foreign policy was, like, totally on point, especially when it came to the relations with the United States and the diplomatic vibes with Argentina. By like totally dedicating herself to analyzing PICE (the Program for Integration and Economic Cooperation), which was like established in 1986, for example, Hirst was already like seeking a super multidimensional and strategic approach in dealing with inter-regional stuff. BTW, her work has always been lit with a mad visionary vibe. OMG, like this author was totally over the whole economistic and corporative views of MERCOSUR. They were like, "Nah, we need to transcend that." And guess what? They soon realized that the perception of common historic trajectories had, like, totally sparked the...

The American gov formalized trade agreements with 11 Latin American countries and in the 1940s   cuz of American involvement in the world conflict, a system of hemispheric security was quickly put in place, based on military assistance programs. The lit conferences of Latin American foreign ministers created a fresh inter-American agenda, and at the Montevideo sesh in '33, Washington was like, "Yo, we're all about that good neighbor vibe" and dipped its troops from Haiti. That conference was like, so lit! It was followed by those in Buenos Aires in 1936, Lima in 1938, Panama in 1939, Havana in 1940, and Rio de Janeiro in 1942.  The last three meetings were hella lit to secure the continent's support for the booming American involvement in World War II. OMG, at the Panama conference they were like, "We're totally neutral, fam!" Then in Havana, all the countries were like, "Let's be defensive together, squad goals!" Finally, at the Third ...

Brazilian Demographics in the U.S.: Top State Uncovered

When World War II broke out, in 1939, Brazil was like, "Nah, we're staying neutral, fam. We don't wanna get caught up in that drama."    OMG, like the trade with Germany totally tanked because of the war and it made it way harder for the Vargas government to do anything. On the American side, Brazilian collab became hella important cuz of new strategic interests, which the Vargas Administration totally used as a flexin' tool. OMG, like from that moment on, the relationship between the two countries was lit AF in the economic, military, and cultural fields. OMG, like, for Brazil, the org of a Brazilian Expeditionary Force (FEB) was, like, totally lit! It was all about flexing their armed forces and, like, boosting their international clout, you know? Like, even though the American government was kinda hesitant at first, FEB dipped to Europe in the second half of 1944. They sent a total of 25,000 dudes to Italy to link up with the 5th Division of the United States A...
